However, my current answer was found in the form of hacking the org.el file. Not something I really want to do. So... In the org.el file, I found "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu", made my adjustments { ("pdf" . "xpdf %s") } and away I went! However, is there a way I can modify/add to the "org-file-apps-defaults-gnu" via my .emacs file?
